Abstract
Chlorella phenolic-rich extract has been studied due to its potential therapeutic effects on the gastrointestinal tract. In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that consumption of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract can modulate gut microbiota, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Several studies have shown that Chlorella supplementation may improve symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as reducing liver enzyme levels in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and H. pylori infection rates in children. However, further research should be conducted to fully understand the mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic benefits of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract in the gastrointestinal tract. Patients should consult with experts before taking Chlorella, so that they can be made aware of the potential side effects and any relevant mediation interactions. Overall, the use of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract is an innovative subject where there is a need for researchers to examine the potential treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions. Additional researchers are needed to fully evaluate its effectiveness and safety.
期刊介绍:
Gastrointestinal Nursing is the leading journal for nurses working in gastroenterology, hepatology and stoma care. The journal publishes original research, clinical reviews and case studies that have been peer-reviewed by leading experts in the field, as well as news and expert analysis on best practice, professional development and healthcare policy. Each of the ten issues a year touches on a range of topics, from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), viral hepatitis and colorectal cancer to upper GI endoscopy, parenteral nutrition and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Gastrointestinal Nursing aims to help specialist nurses improve the quality of life of patients by delivering care that is evidence-based, cost-effective and patient-centred.
